The food and service were amazing. I was most impressed with the entree and smaller, really creative combination, flavourful and refreshing. The main was also nice and beautifully cooked. All meat was tender and incredibly juicy (grilled chicken). The dessert was a wonderful mix of texture and flavour. The cocktail was nice with the right hit and complimented so well with the food. The staff was very friendly and caring. Our whole experience was 100% amazing!

Service was friendly but nothing exceptional. Food on the other hand was delicious. Servings are rather small for the price but the taste makes up for it. We ate in a group of 6. The papaya salad can be a bit too spicy for some.

What a wonderful night. We had the banquet for $84 per person. We swapped the oysters due to allergies. Not once were we made to feel bad for changing and staff were happy to accommodate. Every single meal was delicious and there was plenty of food for us! Staff were friendly, atmosphere was lovely. Plenty of street parking. Definitely a highly enjoyable evening and will definitely return with some more guests next time!

One of my fave restaurants in Brisbane. I’ve been a handful of times and each time the food has been amazing. The flavours are exciting and the dishes are creative. It’s a great place to have a meal with friends, though it can get a bit loud.

This issue was resolved with the staff on the night and I commend them for handling it graciously. Our group celebrated 2 birthdays last night and had a disappointing experience. The table was not ready as the previous diners ran over. This ultimately ate into our allocated time. We were given the least desirable table in the restaurant; back corner without airflow and no vibe. 2 of the spoons had dried rice which didn't indicate high levels of attention and cleanliness. I addressed this with the waiter immediately. The music was so loud we could barely hear ourselves, let alone the staff. We had to ask to order drinks and then when the wine arrived, my request for only a small glass was completely ignored, either because the waiter was in autopilot or couldn't hear. The staff prematurely tried to remove my soda water glass and I felt rushed to drink it then were negligent to top up water glasses. Near the end of the meal I spoke with a very understanding waitress who made every effort to listen to my concerns and that was appreciated. A manager also came over to rectify the situation and as we left, he took a substantial amount off our bill. It was a shame that we had a less than stellar experience from a normally slick restaurant group but I do appreciate the staff making the effort to sort things out. As always, the food was delicious.

I dined at Same Same and opted for the banquet. The food was delicious, and the ambiance of the place was nice. However, I was a bit disappointed that my beer wasn’t cold, which is a small but important detail. At $130 per person, I found the price to be quite steep. While the food was good, I’ve had much better Thai cuisine elsewhere at a more reasonable price. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll return for the banquet, as it felt overpriced for the overall experience.

Same Same has become my go-to spot for Thai cuisine, and that's saying something, especially coming from a Thai person! Every dish I've had there has been cooked to perfection. The flavors are authentic, and you can really tell the care that goes into each plate. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. One of my favorite aspects of Same Same is the open kitchen. It's so much fun watching the chefs work their magic, bustling around to prepare meals with precision. They are usually busy, no matter the day—even on a Tuesday! So, I highly recommend making a reservation to ensure you get a table. Overall, Same Same consistently delivers an excellent dining experience and is a must-visit for anyone craving Thai food.

Absolutely stunning. The food is some of the best I've had, and the service was extremely attentive. Great vibes and music choice. Anyone giving this less than 5 stars either didn't actually eat here, or is probably not someone whose opinion you should trust, based on some of the reasons I have seen given in some reviews...

Leaving my review to counter the 2 star review cause this was my favorite meal in Brisbane! sAme sAme was next level in terms of food and service. Our server (Phuc Pham) gave phenomenal recommendations and was lovely! The host/manager? (Ken) also popped over and suggested we get rice with one of our dishes which was a great call. Totally recommend, dishes are flavor bombs! We ordered the betel leaf, chicken burger (ordered another one cause it was so good), kingfish, lon of spanner crab, and wagyu beef brisket!).

Despite it being a slow Monday night, our group of 8 were forced to have the chefs menu at $75pp as we were over 8 people. This was not discussed when booking. The pescetarian in our group was told numerous times they were a "problem eater". Three dishes of chicken and pork were replaced with Tofu despite a request for some other option. Same Same indeed. The service was inattentive and haughty. The food was overly rich, slathered in sweet creamy sauces and not a patch on authentic Thai food.
